Method

  1. Cook shallots in butter until soft. Add the ginger and spice to the shallots and cook for a minute then add the rhubarb and orange juice and cook gently until the rhubarb is tender. Heat a non-stick frying pan, cook the duck breasts fat-side down on a medium heat for 10 minutes until the skin is crisp and golden. Turn over and cook for another 3-4 minutes. Slice and serve with the rhubarb compote and spinach.

    A great idea but the compote was a bit overpowering; it might be better slightly sweetened and with less orange juice. Thenleft over compote worked beautifully with vanilla ice cream for dessert (or so my husband says!)
